Adder (Japanese: スネーク, Snake) is a Black Hole CO. He vanishes after the events of Advance Wars 2.

General Information

First appearing in Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising, he is ordered to take Yellow Comet. He is ranked higher than Flak and Lash, though is below Hawke. He has made great enemies with Sensei and Grit. He never appears in the Advance Wars: Dual Strike storyline, but he can be bought after you complete the game.

Personality

He tends to refer to himself as a tactical genius and often insults his foes and underlings.

CO Abilities

Like Andy, Adder has absolutely no strengths, nor weaknesses. However, he is known alongside with Koal, Sonja, and Hachi to have one of the shortest CO Meters in the game.

CO power

Sideslip - All of Adder's units gain +1 movement. In Dual Strike, all of his Units also gain 10% firepower and defense bonus.

Super CO power

Sidewinder - All of Adder's units gain +2 movement. In Dual Strike, all of his Units also gain 10% firepower and defense bonus.

Tag Breaks

Adder has Tag Breaks with the following COs:

• Koal, 110%, "Creepy Crawly" (1 star).
• Lash, 105% - Only Adder gets the extra 5%.
• Hawke, 105% - Only Adder gets the extra 5%.
• Flak, 105%

Tactics

Adder's exceptionally small CO Power cost (only 2 stars) makes it easy to spam. When using Adder, you can trick the opponent psychologically and have them constantly playing it safe, since they have no idea whether you are going to use your CO Power immediately or wait to use your Super CO Power.

Adder lacks a day to day ability and has no way to boost the stats of his units. As a result, he often has difficulty approaching the defenses of CO's which do have specialized stat boosts.

Trivia

• In AWDS it's unknown why only Adder gets 5% offence when tagging with Lash and Hawke
  • Possibly it's due to error coding or the developers forget to add the bonus 5% to Lash and Hawke.
